Anthony tries to explain to the officer that he doesn't have any other knives beside the weapon taken away by police. The officer then tells Anthony once again to get on the ground and is urged by Grace to do the same.

"This is not worth dying for, this is not worth dying for," Grace tells Anthony. "Just listen to him, this is not worth dying for. They're killing us out here. This is not worth dying for."

Anthony is a homeless man in his early 20's who sleeps at Union Station in Washington, D.C. The man was profiled by a YouTube page dedicated to the homeless called Invisible People.

During the interview, which took place in March, Anthony said he's been homeless for two years and was placed in this predicament after his mom died from colon cancer. She was his primary provider, according to what he told the YouTube channel.

Grace is being hailed as a hero by many on social media who have watched the video.

Grace spoke to Circa via Twitter Direct Message and said that she used to be homeless as well, which is why she could tell he was too.

"It was traumatic for sure but I’m thankful it didn't get worse either," Grace said. "They said he had a knife but he’s homeless so he probably had it for protection."

She has started a GoFundMe page to help Anthony find a place to stay. She says he hopes to open up an orphanage one day as well as a feeding program.

"Anthony almost lost his life today but I’m glad that he didn’t. His life matters. All humans lives are precious. I used to be homeless and having people to support me literally saved my life. Please if you can, donate. Anything you can donate is enough," Grace writes.
